Life In The Big Apple

Manhattan New York

Lena's: POV
After speaking with Stef l went to wash Ariana up
And helped her getting ready for bed. I stayed with her until she drifted off to sleep, l kissed Ariana good night and left out the room. I went to clean out the tub
I poured in some pine soil and wrapped around the rim of the tub, l can't stop thinking about Stef and how cruel her mother is being towards her. I don't want to be the cause of their relationship to sour, according to Stef herself
Her mother has always struggled with mental health issues in the past. I remember the first time I met Sharon she invited us over to her house for dinner, she was so warm and welcoming. I wonder what changed
Stef lived in San Francisco and Sharon was living in San Diego California, l never made Stef give up her life for me
She did it of her own free will. I told her in the beginning stages of our relationship, l don't do family drama
I wasn't raised to stick my nose in other people's business
I never expected to fall hopelessly in love with Stef
But it's too late for what the if's. I never met anyone like her before, the experience was new, the woman l dated before Stef was a doctor. We dated for three years
Until I find out she was married to a man and had a daughter. That broke me to my core, after that ended
I focused on my career as a pastry chef. I swore off of dating for a few years, till Stef came into my bakery in San Francisco and the rest was history. We dated for a long time, when she told me she had never been with a woman before. And she wanted to explore a relationship with me
It was something about her that drew me in, when she revealed to her mother she was a lesbian. Sharon was happy, Stef found someone like me who would treat her right and respect her, of course we had our fair share of disagreements. Like all couples do, l think Sharon blames me for taking Stef away from her. But that wasn't the case
My parents happily accepted Stef as part of the family
Especially my dad, they had a lot in common. Mom asked Stef tons of questions, they didn't want to see me get my heart broken again. I knew we're they were coming from
Callie was sixteen at the time, l never went out with a cop before. Stef told me that I was the best thing that's happened to her in years, Stef's age never bother me
All my friends accepted her as my other half. We did a lot of traveling around the world together, on our six year anniversary she propose to me on the Beach. I still wear my engagement ring on my finger, l have no regrets
I go sit out the balcony outside our bedroom. I could see the whole New York City, from we're l was standing at
